Lol! A while back my yard had a bunch of dallisgrass and one winter never went completely dormant. I ended pulling them out. Now I pull them as I see them. But I thought they were crabgrass...thanks for the video!! Now I know they're not. 🤣
I put down a Lesco 0-0-7 with prodiamine in February and it has taken care of 95% of the crabgrass i had last year. I now have bare spots, but its filling in with centipede finally.
I did a kill&till on my entire yard in fall of 2020 because the front was covered in Dalisgrass. Replanted tall fescue (Scott's Southern Gold) and now just fighting Bermuda outbreaks and knocking the neighbors dallisgrass down (digging or 41$ glyphosate). Charlotte NC area.
I'm terrified of Monsters aka Dallisgrass , and I am constantly fighting them off my lawn . While my neighbors to the right and left of me , do nothing to control their infestation ! Smh
I was trying to Tread Dallisgrass like it was Crabgrass to no avail for 3 years. Now that I’ve determined it’s actually Dallisgrass In 2 seasons I have finally gotten rid of 90% of it. However, that doesn’t mean it’s over because there are still seeds in the soil. The battle continues but I’ve definitely got in front of the Dallisgrass Madness.
I had a yard that was totally overtaken by weeds, including dallisgrass, crabgrass, nimblewill, nutsedge, carpetgrass, dandelions, clover, etc. I have done the following in order since March: 2,4-D, Weed & Feed, Quinclorac, Celsius WG + Revolver, and getting ready to try Tenacity. Almost everything else is gone, but the dallis is literally waving and smiling at me as I spray it. All it has done is turn a little purple. So, by late September, I want to dethatch, aerate, and overseed with a cool season mix (I live in NC, but like the cool grasses better). I'm almost certain I will still have the dallis, because I am attempting to kill it in June...not good. So, if I go out in October (again with the Celsius + Revolver) to attempt once again to kill this stuff....won't it kill the overseeding I put down in late September? Is there any way to attempt to overseed but also kill this simultaneously??
Literally do this: mix up glyphosate at 4oz / gallon. With a small brush, brush the leaves of the dallisgrass with the glyphosate. Do not let the brush touch any grass or drip. Then follow up 14 days later with the same process. The dalllisgrass will be smoked.
Me too. Eastern NC. Threw out pre emergent in march (bio advance 5n1) that worked pretty well and I’d say that it prevented 75% of what I had last year. The other 25% has spread and some come out of the neighbors yard. Got goose grass,long crabgrass and Dallas grass and some recycled nutsedge, clovers, and burrweed. Sprayed quinclorac, works on broadleaf and nothing else really. Im getting tenacity. I got turf titan liquid dethatcher and it says it’s an aerator too. Putting that down tomorrow and maybe a liquid aerator as well if I don’t like results. Check out that stuff for sure. Also bagging all the clipping for the past couple of mows. Have centipede but some Bermuda has gotten in and choking out my centipede, so I hope the tenacity will knock all this extra out.
Also in summer only in a warm season grass or for me Bermuda I have basically grabbed a hand full of fert amd dropped it on dallis grass waited 2 days it stated browning then 3 days later done the same but watered it in and let the Bermuda take over the yard
@laurawall7278 Vinegar travels, meaning spray a 4 inch area will kill an area of a foot or more, especially if it rains after you spray the vinegar. Vinegar will kill any plant that is green Please be careful spraying vinegar around plants that you want to keep Hope this was helpful
Jason, you wouldn’t take on mine for sure! Been on it, only thing still issue, super gobs of Dallis. Everything else is dead, but it survived Image with Quincloric. Paint roller glosphate next. Hard to dig out, has stolens
Thanks so much for the very informative video. Really appreciate it. I'm in Southern California. Celsius must not be legal here in CA because nobody will ship it to me. Is there a comparable emergent that will help with my Dallisgrass? I HATE IT!!!! ; )
I would like to know that as well. My guess is that they don't trust homeowners with the product....or somebody is not making enough money off of it to worry about it
The producer of the product has to test and prove it safe for residential use. This cost money. Often the maybe a product that is approved for agriculture use, that would be safe for use in yards, but the manufacturer doesn't want to pay for testing to get approved. This testing has to be redone every so often, IIRC ten years. If the the product didn't sell well or if there was problems with the use on residential lawns, the company may not pay or be able to get it reapproved for residential use.
Arsenic was getting in well water around lawns that were routinely treated with MSMA. It’s still legal for farmers to use, golf courses and other commercial properties. That probably has more to do with lobbying efforts than actual safety concerns
Dallisgrass or crabgrass, my primary approach is the same. I spend a few minutes each evening walking my lawn looking for these buggers sprouting up! After a day of my normal work (engineering), this is somewhat therapeutic. Thankfully my lawn is small! :) My real nemesis is fescue! I have Bermuda grass. Many of my neighbors have planted fescue under their trees and some have full fescue lawns. And I get clumps of it on the edge of my lawn. And my approach is the same, pulling it. This stuff is way harder to pull than a patch of crabgrass! This year I tried a little spot treatment with Roundup. So far, so good. I had a weird weed in my lawn this year. It was very flat at the base of the stalk. And it sprouted a few leaves that shot straight up from the base. It was difficult to pull. Any idea what this weed might have been? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Guys like you are invaluable to the folks like us.......that are too cheap to hire a lawn guy! :P
@@lawncarelife When I look at the prices of the professional herbicides, my first thought is....”Holy Crap! That stuff is expensive!” But it would probably be a good investment for spot treatment. And since I have nutsedge, kyllinga, and load annua........perhaps I can get my wife on board! After all, a bottle of this stuff would last quite a while for spot treatment. Thanks for the advice! :)
MSM [not to be confused with MSMA] at a fairly high rate will usually kill fescue but it may take weeks to do it !! if you are the kind who has to see fast results do something else!!
@@jeffreycoon9634 Bermuda, and if applied at the rate for treating Bahia or Dallis it'll damage the turf as well. I learned the hard way last season by blanket spraying my entire lot.
Like your videos, however have to disagree with you on this one. The house I bought had extremely bad case of dalligrass. I used Scott's Weed EX the following late Jan. (I also bag - helps eliminate weed seeds), and my lawn is now free of dalligrass infestation. I currently use a preemergent once per year and a post emergent late Feb. I live in NC, zone 8.
@@lawncarelife You appear to be one of the best at what you do. Was wondering if you could share information on lawn fungus, namely brown patch (i.e. identification, treatment recommendations - curative and preventive, treatment intervals, prevention, etc.). When I bought my house 10 years ago, lawn would be beautiful until mid-June. Then it started looking terrible with large thinning, bald and browning areas. I had much anxiety because I did not know if I had applied too much fertilizer, not enough fertilizer, etc. Only after five years of having this pattern repeat did I finally find out about lawn fungus (I have TTTF grass). Now anytime my lawn gets slightly brown, my stomach knots up. Thanks!
Is there any weed killer to get Dallis grass out of my st. Augustine? I keep pulling it but its an endless war. I've heard you can treat st. Augustine with grass killer when the st. Augustine is in winter hibernation.
@@lawncarelife Okay, to be clear I know the Celsius label says don’t go over 7.2oz per/acre in a year. High rate is 4.9oz/acre 2-3 times would be 9.8-14.7oz/acre in a year. So from your experience going over the recommended yearly rate max is okay for the dallisgrass? (2-3 times High rate each app.)
That's what I have in Colorado Springs. Looks like crabgrass butalso have thick looking clumps but no seed heads. Turf farm said very difficult to getfid of ex ept a produ t that will also kill good grass. Must use a cotton glove saturated with killer and first putting on a surgi al glove berfore the cotton glove and making sure you only apply it to the clump as will kill the bluegrass. Decide not to do this but to consentrate only on the crabgrass in my blue grass lawn. Have been trying to pull out but have so much I want a spray. ratecur I Ded
Dallisgrass is a bitch! I had a few patches. Took me several seasons to get rid of it. I did it all. Dug it up. Hit it with Roundup in the winter. Painted the leaves with Roundup in the spring/summer. On and on. It is finally almost gone…I think…👀

How did you get rid of it?
What did you use
Still my successful. I pretty much did the same thing but can't get rid of the Dallisgrass now that I know what it is
Jason. Could you comment on how to prevent and eliminate burn weed on a Bermuda lawn? Steve Whitley
Very nice presentation.

Can I just dig up the dallis grass? How deep do you recommend I dig and what should I apply to the area before I lay down sod over the treated area?
It grows from rhizomes, dig till you start finding them.
Hit Dallis eight days apart with MSMA, and after some heavy rains it came back through the burned patch.
Do you have a centipede lawn? I do and it's full of dallisgrass and I was told that msma will kill the centipede that is why I asked
@@jeffreycoon9634 Bermuda, and if applied at the rate for treating Bahia or Dallis it'll damage the turf as well. I learned the hard way last season by blanket spraying my entire lot.
How will the celsius, etc. affect both centipede grass and zoysia?
More good information with each video!
You mentioned MSMA as not to be used on Zoysia, only Bermuda. I thought you can use on both grasses?
What about Goose grass? I think I have some of it in my St. Aug.
What about goosegrass in bluegrass?
Goose grass is easy to pull right after a heavy rain. The roots grab hard when soil is dry.

Don’t leave any piece of root in there , use a water hose .
Does Dallas grass have to be dug up after it’s fully dead?

Yes, dig 4/8 inches under the crown
That’s 4-8 inches

High
